What Ben Wore: Finomenon Kids + Freshly Picked | Review + GIVEAWAY

Sigh. When did my baby become this gorgeous child?! He isn't even two yet, and looking less and less like a toddler every day. I almost can't even handle how perfect this outfit is. It's definitely a new favorite for Fall! On this day alone, he received so many compliments. As you know from my "Fall 2014 Favorites: Toddler Boys" post, this In My Prime tee from Finomenon Kids is a musthave. I can't sing it's praises enough. The fit is great but the design? Perfect. I love everything about it, from the graphic placement to the typography. I'm one of those super nerdy "font people" and I LOVE this tee. Also, the sentiment is SO GREAT! It's perfect for him and would be perfect for me. I want it in my size!! *wink wink* Please.

Want a more polished, trendy look? Roll those sleeves! It looks so cute with cuffed skinny jeans, which is how I paired it on Benjamin. We finished the look with Weathered Brown Moccasins from Freshly Picked.

Benjamin has owned FP moccs in eight different colors, both bright and neutral. I can honestly say that Weathered Brown has been my favorite. They're the perfect color and go with nearly everything. You see the water spots in the above photos? They're from Benjamin walking through that grass. Just a few moments later they had dried and you couldn't even tell he'd walked through water. However, I really like the way this color wears. "Weathered". They're meant to look worn, like your favorite pair of jeans. Just so great!

Over the last year and a half, so many people have asked me how the soft soles are for walking (learning to walk, starting to run, etc.), how they hold up, and if they're worth the investment. We have absolutely no complaints. They're worth every precious penny, in my opinion. Benjamin learned to walk in Freshly Picked moccs. The soft soles were forgiving and helped protect his feet while learning to balance. I've never had a single issue with them falling off or him complain that they're uncomfortable in any way. If anything, he prefers to wear them over most, if not all, other types of shoes! They're quick to put on, so he's not being held back and they hold up through a lot of wear. We've only had one pair of moccs that Benjamin literally wore holes in and that was from a ridiculous amount of rough wear/use over a long period of time.

I am excited that Freshly Picked is partnering with me again, to offer one Love, Joleen reader a pair of moccasins! Be sure to leave a comment with your favorite pair. I'm also asking for ideas in what to add to our Fall bucket list! The giveaway ends at midnight Sunday, September 14th. You must be 18 years old and live in the US to enter. Good luck!!
